Writing 150 Overview

This was an enjoyable class for me because of the environment that I was in. All of my classes this semester have more than 70 people in them and this was the only one that only had about 20 or so. It felt good because I did not feel like an idiot when I would talk (which usually happens in my other classes) and the people were more familiar with eachother. Sister Elliott did an excellent job at keeping the class entertained and was always excited for a new subject that came along which made it a whole lot easier to focus and stay involved. The papers were a little difficult for me because I would usually get bored by the second page and not want to do it anymore. But by the way that Sister Elliott had us peer review and send us to the writing center really saved my butt when it came to the final paper. I learned a lot about peer editing and self-editing in this class because of the involvement. This course is structured well and I don’t think it was that overwhelming other than the online assignments. These really ticked me off because when I was about to finish my computer would flip out on me and I would have to do it all over again. This was really the only frustration that I really had in this class because of the technical problems. Other than that I think that it is a solid course and that Sister Elliott is an awesome teacher.

  1. Yeah I agree the small class size was definitely a plus with our class, and it was fun to get involved! The peer editing was helpful to me too, although sometimes the writing center felt like a waste of time, but im glad you enjoyed the semester overall!

  2. I agree with you both. It is nice to have a small class! Also, I didn't ever feel too overwhelmed either. :)
